Warmest Wishes

With Oh Deer

and a sketch from Atlantic Hearts

One of the new paper packs in the newly released Holiday

Expressions is Oh Deer, a paper pack with vintage colors.

The pine cones in the stamp set Perfectly Pines along with the soft 

wood colors give an outdoor woodsy look to the card. 

The weekly sketches at Atlantic Hearts are a good place

to be inspired to create hand stamped cards. Check it out.

Color Dare #209

Sorbet, Pomegranate, Pear, Black, and Gold 

The Color my Heart challenge this week was a bit of a challenge since one

of the colors is no longer currently available. So, for this card I had to cheat just a bit. 

My business practise is that when a CTMH item is retired it leaves my 

work space. So, since my Pear ink is gone I used the new color Willow. 

They are close in color so I hope that will work for the challenge.

The flower, ferns, and pot are cut using the new

Flower Market Cricut cartridge. The papers are

from the Fundamentals and the gold is the gold glitter paper.

If you miss this color challenge a new one will be posted

at Color My Heart tomorrow. Be sure to check it out and come play.

CTMH Supplies:

Fundamentals: Whimsy, Enchantment

Cardstock: Black, White Daisy, Willow, Sorbet

Stamps: Short & Sweet, Blessed Beyond Measure

Ink: Pomegranate, Black, Willow

Embellishments: Gold Glitter paper, White/gold ribbon

Blessed Beyond Measure

With September Stamp of the Month

Atlantic Hearts Sketch and the Swan Lake paper pack

come together to make this Stamp of the Month card.

Stamp the background with a sentiment stamp. Stamp the

pumpkin on the Cricut cutout. Mask the pumpkin to color

the green around the pumpkin. Add a leaf, your sentiment

and follow the Atlantic Hearts sketch and your card is ready to go.

Be sure to check back on Monday for a new sketch to play with.

Copy That

My Favorite Subject

Love to copy. There are so many amazing inspirational talented

paper artist sharing their creations it's hard not to copy. Usually when I copy 

I do put a Jody twist on it like this card I "copied" from the new

Annual Inspirations page 45 for the Heart 2 Heart challenge.

 I used the gold overlay for the stripes and since I didn't

need a Birthday card I made a Happy Day card.

So check out the Annual Inspiration and copy yourself

a project. If you don't have the exact supplies just use

 the ones you have. Change up the colors, use different

stamps, turn the card or page in a different direction but

most of all just have fun.
